Hi!

I noticed that the latest MGMAT book does not have Probabilities, Permutations and Combinations. Does that mean that it is being phased out? Do I still need to study for it?


Thanks!

Permutations, combinations & probability questions are pretty much in scope and are categorized as medium/high difficulty category. Especially when you are doing good in Quant section, GMAT will throw in such question.

Yep, study hard. Even though many people say these are minor topics, these can greatly impact your score.

It might be that the topic has not been mentioned in the book but basics must be known so that the calculations can be made easily.
